World’s largest mangrove swamp fostering eco-tourism
The early January morning threw a chilled blanket around us and the cab sped past towering skyscrapers along a maze of flyovers. We drove towards Kolkata Science City. The destination was the Sunderbans, a spread of mangrove jungle crisscrossed by a network of rivers and estuaries. Bidya, Sibsha, Matla , Koyra, Horinbhanga, there are several of them connected to nameless creeks and canals running deeper into wilderness. The names have a different kind of flavor, appealing and romantic yet menacing and deceptive.
